Mario Marathon is back again this year. A non-stop live marathon of Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going on now!

If you keep donating to Child’s Play*, they will keep playing all weekend and beyond! So far, midway through day 2, they have already raised over $30,000!

The LIVE feed will start playing automatically on the video screen. Fun to watch!

That means that right now, three former college room mates (Brian “Shirt Guy” Brinegar, John “Couch Guy” Groth, and Chris “Slouch Guy” Deckard), some other friends and Couch Dog are attempting to play through each one of the above Super Mario games in their entirety. The 2009 event lasted 96 hours, attracted 150,000 viewers, and raised over $29,000 for Child’s Play. So they’ve already beaten last year’s amount within 36 hours, not a bad start.

* Child’s Play Charity provides toys, games and books to patients of children’s hospitals world wide.

Good luck guys, you’ve got our support!
